Devil Anse Featured on Classwar Karaoke

"I Miss Nothing" Featured

Thanks to Fnordstuff for opening its recent March 3, 2014 (Episode 29) pocast with "I Miss Nothing."

 

New Album Release: Paroxysm

It only took four years, but I've finally put out another record. You can check it out and purchase in two ways: either CDBaby (for those who still prefer a physical CD) and digital distribution (iTunes and others). Other avenues of digital distribution will follow shortly. Hope you'll give it a listen! This one features a good bit of fretless guitar and other surprises. I was particularly pleased with the production quality. Enjoy!!!

Merry Christmas: Jingle Bell-bottoms

Recording a new Christmas tune has become sort of a holiday tradition here in the studio. So far, I've recorded Silent Night and What Child Is This (Greensleeves), both of which are "public domain" pieces. I did a version of Frosty the Snowman once too, and that wasn't public domain (though it was never for sale or anything).

This year I decided to do a really hokey version of Jingle Bells called Jingle Bell-bottoms, complete with lots of wah-wah'd guitar parts, lots of bells, jazzed up lines, and a family chorus right in the middle. Hope you like it! It's freely downloadable.

From our house to yours: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

SD's "Frosty," jazzy style

Merry Christmas, everyone! I recently purchased a Line 6 Pod Studio GX, so being in the Christmas spirit, I went ahead and pulled down my jazz fakebook yesterday and gave this classic a go to try out the Line 6 unit (I've had a few problems with it in the connectivity department, but it sounds awesome otherwise).

Everything was recorded through the GX using Pod Farm and into Logic. The guitar I used was my Epiphone Performer SE acoustic (all through the pickup); it has two pickups, and one is in the neck so I can get a neat, jazzy sound. For the fretless bass, I used my fretless guitar and then just dropped it down an octave...can't believe how much it sounds like an acoustic bass! The drums are Beta Monkey's Jazz Essentials.

Enjoy!

Shane's "Silent Night" appears in animated feature

Sonic Deviant's instrumental recording of "Silent Night" recently appeared on "Seasoned Greetings," a short holiday film animated by Tyson Moore.

GameBored » Blog Archive » Seasons Greetings:

The photography was taken at my parent’s cabin in Colorado and most of the editing was done in Houston, Texas. The notion of this pyramid movie is to fade the comparisons between the holidays of the winter solstice: Christmas, Hannukah, Yule, Duali, Kwanza, and most importantly - Oshnaqua. Send the link to all your friends.

Little Sickness appears at Lunaticfish.com

One of my tunes got picked up on a really neat U.K. podcast; check lunaticfish.com, specifically the episode called That Special Bloke.

Though it's cool they used a bit of my tune as a midway transition, the coolest part is that I really like their podcast. Very funny stuff. In this episode, they discuss rough vaginas (lol).
